Detection of Hot Bearings.

NJ. Gerboz has devised an apparatus
by which an audible and visible signal
is given to the engine driver if any
part of the machinery to which the
apparatus is fitted should become UNI
duly hot. In its simplest form, as ap-
piled to the crank-pin of steam en-
CINE, the device consists of small
cylinder fastened to and projecting
from the crank-pin, and containing a
plug of easily fusible alloy, which is
pressed against the end of the crank.
pin by perforated piston and spring.
The piston-rod controls by means of
a lever catch belonging to the mech
anism of bell placed over the ap-
paratus. The gear of the bell, which
is actuated by spring power. is
previously wound up by hand and
locked by the catch. If the crank-pin
should heat, the fusible plug melts.
thus allowing the piston to descend.
thereby releasing the catch and sound

CHASTITY Work of Art.

In the Pitt palace. at Florence. is a
table which. for originality in the mat
ter of construction and ghastliness in
conception, is probably without a
rival. 1t was made by Giuseppe Sa-
gatti. who passed several years of his
life in its manufacture. To the casual
observer it gives the impression of a
curious mosaic of marbles of different
shades and colOrs, for it looks like
polished stone. In reality it is COM
posed of human muscles and viscera.
No less than a hundred bodies were
requisitioned for the material The
table is round and about a yard in di-
ameter. with a pedestal and four claw
feet the whole being formed of petri-
fed human remains The ornaments
of the pedestal are made from the in.
testines, the claws, with hearts, livers
and lungs. the natural color of which
is preserved. The tabletop is con-
structed of muscles artistically ar
ranged. and it is bordered with up
ward of hundred eyes, the effect of
which is said to be highly artistic.

The Term Amateur.

2 There is a vast difference between
the meaning of the term amateur in
athletic sports in this country and in
England. Over there q real amateur
must be above working, not only in the
athletics but every thing else; he must
be rich, or have a rich father or rela-
tive, able to devote all the time he de-
sires to athletics without devoting q
thought to where the next loaf of bread
is coming from. In this country we
have very strict rules. but nothing like
tie English. A man may work at
any thing he desires and still be an
amateur and rank awav up il he has
the ability to win the position. Every
thing q based on merit The only 70.

How Crude Pig Iron Is Refined and
Shaped In Rolling Mills.
To trace II lump of crude pig iron
through the processes that refine and
shap, it for use is an interesting ex-
perience. and darkness adds to the
strangeness and weird aspect of the
scene. This is the way it looks to an
uninitiated observer. The process be-
gins with the pudding furnaces.
Ranged about the sides of the
great building are score of
furnaces of peculiar construc-
ton. These furnaces, which
are low and fiat, are charged with some
hundreds Of pounds of broken pig IRON.
which is fused by the intense heat and
it becomes semi-fuid. Then comes the
hard work of pudding. which is simply
kneading the half-molten iron. Be-
=, fore the furnace the puddler stands,
and. thrusting heavy iron bar
through small hole in the door. he
works and turns the pasty mass. form
ing it into huge balls which must be
carefully kept separate from each
other else they fuse together into a
mass which can not be removed unless
the furnace be taken apar t. At night
the scene in the puddling-mill is weird
and picturesque in the extreme.
Here aud there in the darkness glow
the fiery eyes Of the furnaces flashing
. bright light upon the swarthy aud
half nude forms Of the workmen a.
they tug and pull on the molten metal
with long iron bars The roaring Of
The fires. the hiss Of escaping steam
and the clang of iron bars add to the
wi,dness Of the scene.
For about an hour and half the
kncading process continues before tie
metal is to be Withdrawn. This means
inccssant labor by the puddler. and
iebor VI the hardest and hottest kind.

EBONIZING WOOD.
A Comprehensive Account Of tho Process
EmplOyed In France.

A Comprehensive Account Of tho Process
Employed In France.
One of the most ingenious as well as
serviceable methods practiced by
French artisans in wood is that by
which is produced complete rescm-
blancc in the color. beauty and density
of ebony by the skilful use Of charcoal
upon the surface. None but carefully
selected woods of close and compact
grain are employed for this purpose.
and these are covered in the first place
with coat of camphor dissolved in
water, and almost Immediately after
with another coat composed chiefly of
sulphate of iron and nut-gall. The
two combinations in blending pene-
trate the wood and give it an
indelible tinge. and at the same
time render it impervious to the
attacks of insects o. these two
coats becoming sufficiently dry. the
surface of the wood is rubbed at first
with q very hard brush Of couch-grass
and then with charcoal of substances
as light and friable as possible. the
fact being that if a single hard grain
remains in the charcoal it will scraic /
the surface. which should be perfectly
smooth. The fat parts are rubbed
with natural stick charcoal. the m
dented portions and crevices with
charcoal powder. and alternately with
the application # charcoal. the article
operated upon is rubbed with a flannel
soaked in lin seed oil and turpentine.
These pounc;ngs. repeated several
tines cause the charcoal powder and
the oil to penetrate the wood. irsasins

With no clothing but pair of over
alls. and working in a temperature of

men perspire so freely that streams OF
water run from their bodies. As long
as the perspiration continues freely
they are safe, and to insure its con-
tinuance they drink freely of water.
gulping down three or four gallons in
a day without any injurious results.
But if the perspiration should stop and
the men continue to work. prostration
would soon follow. The heat is SO in
tense and the work SO enervating that
the puddlers, after standing before the
furnance for an hour and half, rest
three quarters of an hour before resum-
ing operations. An hour and half
of pudding and the iron is ready to be
drawn. Up goes the door of the fur
mace. showing mass of fame too
dazzling to look upon with the naked
eye. With big pair of tongs lump
of glowing iron is picked out of the
flames and swung along to the
"squeezer. This is circular re-
volving machine that takes the mis-
shapen mass of iron and rolls it over
and over, crushing it into rough
block of solid iron. The "squeezer"
is suggestive of pair of monster jaws
crunching and crushing the molten
food which is thrust into it. while the
melted cinder trickles out between its
huge teeth. After leaving the
'squeezer' the lump of iron is ready
to be rolled into shape, and this fur
nishes the most interesting of the pro-
cesses.
Away across the iron floor upon an
iron truck goes the lump from the fur
mace. A huge engine. with its cylin-
der high up in the air. turns the rolls.
and as the lump of iron is thrust be-
tween the rolls there is a trembling of
the ground as it is caught and pulled
through. Back it comes through an
other part of the rolls. more regular in
shape and much larger than when it
started. Back and forward it goes and
comes through the rolls. faster and
faster until it comes through the last
roll and rushes across the floor in a
serpentine path, looking a veritable
reptile of hideous appearance. A
workman clutches the glowing snake
by the tail with pair of tongs and
drags it aside. Another man thrusts
it before swiftly revolving saw;
there is deafening noise and shower
of sparks and the iron bar is nearly
cut in two pieces. A few blows
from huge wooden mallet to straight
en- the red-hot bars and they are
dragged aside to cool.
To one unaccustomed to such sights
rolling-mill appears as place of
wild confusion and disorder. The
rumble of the rolls, the rattle and
clash of the tongs and chains. the
crash of the huge saws as they cut the
red-hot bars asunder. and the ever
flying shower of sparks. make pam
demonium for a nervous person. Even
a steady man Is apt TO be startled by
sudden yell by one of the hurrying la
borers, or by an explosion like that of
cannon close by his side. A stream
of water constantly plays upon the
rolls, and as it occasionally gets into
the cracks in the red-hot iron passing
through the rolls, there is an explo-
sion that echoes far up the hill across
the river. philadelphia Record.

Our state legislature has taken up
the cause of the oppressed people of
Ireland, adopting resolutions declaring
that Ireland has for eighty-seven years
been deprived of self-government.
The resolutions adopted were severe.
One of them reads as follows:
Resolved, BY the assembly, the
senate concurring, that we denounce
the Tory government of Great Britain
as being the enemy Of all English
speaking people, and impossible of
compromising the lesson of the nine
teenth century"
Now this may all be true, and might
be said in a public meeting of citizens,
but for the legislature of a state, in its
official capacity, to make such declara-
tlon in respect to government with
which our relations are amicable is
questionable. If Parliament should
make declaration half as severe in
relation to any wrong in the govern
ment of this country, the people would
express indignation from Maine to
Mexico for such foreign interference.
The wrongs done to Ireland are very
proper subjects for discussion by the
people and the press in this country.
The Milwaukee Sentinel facetiously re-
marks there will be anguish in high
places in England when the news of
the action of the Wisconsin legislature
reaches there.

WHAT is THE WORKINGMEN'S
PARTY PLATFORM?

Now that the Workingmen's party
has become such an important factor
in this state. it is proper to inquire,
and an answer to the inquiry is reason
able, "What do the working men pro-
pose to accomplish, provided they
should obtain voice or control in
matters oflegislation Every organic
alton that seeks to obtain a voice in
the law-making power must be sup
posed to have some specific purpose.
IF this be not so, then the organization
of such a party is valueless. 1t is
reasonable to assume that the working
men have an idea that they do not en-.
joy all the rights and privileges to
which they are justly entitled. If
this be not the fact, then what is it ?
It is also reasonable 10 conclude that
laboring men expect to better their
present condition by the formation of
Workingmen's societies; but by what
method is it proposed to reach such a
result? BY what means outside of their
present earnings do they intend to in
crease their income? That is one of the
vital questions. All the wealth in the
world, except that which naturally
inheres in the earth and in the waters.

have been brief staDza or two ac-
companying an obituary notice. Many
years ago, a manuscript poetic produc-
tion came to this Office for publication
at least fortnightly on an average !;
most of these came from women,
probably majority from unmarried
young women. Many a young girl
tried her skill in composing verse /; old
maids and married women, too, took
the poetic fever. and some very clever
stanzas, especially for inexperienced
writers, were produced. The offices of
newspaper publishers were often over
stocked with manuscript poetry await
ing publication. The question arises
how are these changes in the current
of thought accounted for ? Has nature
lost its inspiration for poetic thought?
Has the soft moonlight, the evening
shadows, the beauties of the landscape,
the murmuring of the winds, the roar
of the tempest ceased to excite the play
of the imagination Has the real dis
placed the ideal, and is the world COM
ing down to matter of fact and is the
tangible leaving the intangible out of
the question? These changes would
not introduce higher and more refined
civilization. Poetry has been of i'm
mense value to the world in smoothing
the rougher passions. It often has a
refining influence where prose is power
less. 1t of course requires more skill
and good judgment to write readable
poetry than to write prose, but it would
be misfortune if writing poetry were
to fall into general neglect, leaving it
only to the few who now make it a pro-
fession. Wherever men or women
are found fond of poetry, they are not
apt to be bad people. Poetry, like
music, harmonizes the baser passions,
and, like painting, refnes the public
taste hence these three desirable
qualities have always held intimate re-
lationship. Will there ever come re-
vival of the old-time taste for writing
poetry?

" WOMEN DO NOT WANT TO
VOTE"

A class of people and newspapers
have kept up repeating, Women do
not want to vote" In Iowa, where the
course is clear and no impediments in
the way, women voted by the thou
sands on Tuesday. In this state, where
woman suffrage is not clear by the
laws, no doubt hundreds refrained to
make the attempt for that reason.
Still great numbers went to the polls
and offered their votes; in a majority
of cases they were refused the right,
the boards of election doubling the
legality. But hundreds of women,
under those difficulties, voted. In
Whitewater about 800 women voted.
Had there been no supposed legal OBJ
stacles, the women of Wisconsin would
have voted as freely as in Iowa. In
this city, Is women voted in the 1st
ward, in the I'd ward, IA in the Sd
ward and 10 in the 4th ward.

is the product of labor. The theory
maintained by the Socialists is, that
those who have accumulated more
property than they need for their COM
fort and enjoyment should impart of
their substance to others who have
been less fortunate or perhaps less
provident in economizing and saving
money. There are many farmers in
this county who began the business of
farming poor, but by industry have &C
quired wealth. The Socialist thinks
he has claim on the surplus wealth
of such. But we win not in insinuate
